Sam Phillips and The Three Peaks Challenge
If you have read my other blogs you will know that I like to set myself challenges. You will also know I’m 2 and a half years into sobriety from drugs and alcohol abuse. I have a cold water dipping group called, “Dare to Dip”. On March 15th we celebrated the 3rd anniversary of Dare to Dip, so to mark the occasion I came up with the idea of conquering the three tallest peaks in the UK, The Three Peaks Challenge. The Three Peaks Challenge is one of the most popular trekking challenges in the UK and involves climbing the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales (Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon), one after another – with an aim to complete the challenge within 24 hours, 48 hours or 3 Days.
